Bridges Rifle Company & Gunsmithing

Another little girl has stolen our hearts. When we lost our Missy we weren't sure we could love like that again. Dabi came with the house we bought in Nevada, MO and she took to us as much as we've taken to her. She is a Berlin Malinois Pharaoh mix, well trained and very disciplined at 18 months old.

Hello friends and former customers. J Earl and I want to share with you that we had to say our last "I love you" to our Missy, She blessed our lives and was a true companion and comfort for 15 years and 9 days. She was Miss Personality Plus and it is still lonely without her being in our shadow and snuggling with us in our chair. We still find ourselves wanting to talk to her, tell her good-bye when we leave the house, and to find her waiting to greet us when we come home.

Thought I'd pop on here and wish everyone a Happy Independence Day! Enjoy your day and let us know what's going on in your world.

Not everyone lives the dream 🤷‍♂️

FYI
R***r Mark IV's manufactured 2016 forward

R***r recently discovered that all Mark IV™ pistols (including 22/45™ models) manufactured prior to June 1, 2017 have the potential to discharge unintentionally if the safety is not utilized correctly. In particular, if the trigger is pulled while the safety lever is midway between the "safe" and "f...

It is so nice to have our faithful La Vernia customers following us to Boedeker Brothers Armory for their riflesmithing needs.
It is always good to see you Valerie & Kenneth Moczygemba, Tony Davis, Greg & Mary Newman.

Who else will we be seeing? Call in advance and we will see if Missy will leave her throne to say "hello"!

I thought it was about time I caught you up on what’s going in the World of Bridges!

First, let me say, we miss all our wonderful friends and customers. It was a difficult and emotional decision we had to make about closing Bridges Rifle Company in La Vernia. We are thankful God’s hand guided our decision and the subsequent events.

J Earl is in Shiner, Texas working for Boedeker Brothers Armory (Ryan Boedeker purchased our equipment and inventory). He is doing what he loves: building custom rifles and training a young man to be a custom riflesmith. You can reach him at 830-305-7706 – when you want to chat or book your custom rifle.

Me? I’m in Lee’s Summit, MO – just south of Kansas City. We will be retiring here (when we retire), so we decided for me to move on out and get my Real Estate License for Missouri & Kansas; so I’m working with RE/MAX Heritage to build my business.

I know most of you are wondering about our Missy. She is in Texas with J Earl and being even more prissy and bossy! She loves the country and has to be watched closely or she slips off into the pasture and comes back smelling like cow p*e. Can you believe it?

We wish you all a Happy Spring! If you’re ever out our way, please stop by for a jar of iced tea! Our welcome mat is always out.

Even though we're no longer a retail outlet, J Earl is still actively involved in the building of custom rifles, along with installing new barrels, muzzlebrakes, stocks, triggers, etc. And, he threads barrels for your accessories! He can be reached at Boedeker Brothers Armory or on his personal cell phone 830-305-7706.

Gun rights activists are buzzing as they eye potential changes in the strict laws that govern the ownership of silencers in the wake of the 2016 election.
